This entertaining action/adventure has paranormal elements, good secondary characters, and defined MCs who are determined, intelligent, and learning about the paranormal characters they must deal with. I liked the world-building in the enjoyable story.

Engaging read!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2026

 

"A gripping start for this fast-paced adventure, where a single mistake at a dig site unleashes devastating consequences. I loved how the story pairs our main character with a skilled ex-soldier creating an alliance built on survival, tension, and slowly revealed truths.

 

The mysterious artifact at the center adds a layer of intrigue, especially as timelines begin to blur and new characters emerge with secrets that hint at a much bigger story ahead. It feels like the calm before an even greater storm in the next installment.

 

Overall, an exciting, engaging read with strong momentum and just enough mystery to leave you wanting more. I’ll definitely be continuing this series and recommending it."
